列王紀下 18
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1以色列 王 以拉 的兒子 何細亞 第三年， 猶大 王 亞哈斯 的兒子 希西家 登基。
1Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2他登基的時候年二十五歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王二十九年。他母親名叫 亞比 ，是 撒迦利雅 的女兒。
2He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
3希西家 行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他祖 大衛 一切所行的。
3He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
4他廢去邱壇，毀壞柱像，砍下木偶，打碎 摩西 所造的銅蛇，因為到那時 以色列 人仍向銅蛇燒香。 希西家 叫銅蛇為銅塊。
4He removed the high places, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
5希西家 倚靠耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝，在他前後的 猶大 列王中沒有一個及他的。
5He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
6因為他專靠耶和華，總不離開，謹守耶和華所吩咐 摩西 的誡命。
6For he joined with the LORD. He didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
7耶和華與他同在，他無論往何處去盡都亨通。他背叛、不肯事奉 亞述 王。
7The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
8希西家 攻擊 非利士 人，直到 迦薩 ，並 迦薩 的四境，從瞭望樓到堅固城。
8He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
9希西家 王第四年，就是 以色列 王 以拉 的兒子 何細亞 第七年， 亞述 王 撒縵以色 上來圍困 撒馬利亞 ；
9In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
10過了三年就攻取了城。 希西家 第六年， 以色列 王 何細亞 第九年， 撒馬利亞 被攻取了。
10At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
11亞述 王將 以色列 人擄到 亞述 ，把他們安置在 哈臘 與 歌散 的 哈博河 邊，並 米底亞 人的城邑；
11The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
12都因他們不聽從耶和華－他們上帝的話，違背他的約，就是耶和華僕人 摩西 吩咐他們所當守的。
12because they didn’t obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it.
13希西家 王十四年， 亞述 王 西拿基立 上來攻擊 猶大 的一切堅固城，將城攻取。
13Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
14猶大 王 希西家 差人往 拉吉 去見 亞述 王，說：「我有罪了，求你離開我；凡你罰我的，我必承當。」於是 亞述 王罰 猶大 王 希西家 銀子三百他連得，金子三十他連得。
14Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15希西家 就把耶和華殿裏和王宮府庫裏所有的銀子都給了 他 。
15Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house.
16那時， 猶大 王 希西家 將耶和華殿門上的 金子 和他自己包在柱上的 金子 都刮下來，給了 亞述 王。
16At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
17亞述 王從 拉吉 差遣他珥探、拉伯撒利，和拉伯沙基率領大軍往 耶路撒冷 ，到 希西家 王那裏去。他們上到 耶路撒冷 ，就站在上池的水溝旁，在漂布地的大路上。
17The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
18他們呼叫王的時候，就有 希勒家 的兒子家宰 以利亞敬 ，並書記 舍伯那 和 亞薩 的兒子史官 約亞 ，出來見他們。
18When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them.
19拉伯沙基說：「你們去告訴 希西家 說， 亞述 大王如此說：『你所倚靠的有甚麼可仗賴的呢？
19Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
20你說有打仗的計謀和能力， 我看 不過是虛話。你到底倚靠誰才背叛我呢？
20You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
21看哪，你所倚靠的 埃及 是那壓傷的葦杖；人若靠這杖，就必刺透他的手。 埃及 王法老向一切倚靠他的人也是這樣。
21Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
22你們若對我說：我們倚靠耶和華－我們的上帝， 希西家 豈不是將上帝的邱壇和祭壇廢去，且對 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 的人說：你們當在 耶路撒冷 這壇前敬拜嗎？
22But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
23現在你把當頭給我主 亞述 王，我給你二千匹馬，看你這一面騎馬的人夠不夠。
23Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
24若不然，怎能打敗我主臣僕中最小的軍長呢？你竟倚靠 埃及 的戰車馬兵嗎？
24How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
25現在我上來攻擊毀滅這地，豈沒有耶和華的意思嗎？耶和華吩咐我說：你上去攻擊毀滅這地吧！』」
25Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
26希勒家 的兒子 以利亞敬 和 舍伯那 ，並 約亞 ，對拉伯沙基說：「求你用 亞蘭 言語和僕人說話，因為我們懂得；不要用 猶大 言語和我們說話，達到城上百姓的耳中。」
26Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
27拉伯沙基說：「我主差遣我來，豈是單對你和你的主說這些話嗎？不也是對這些坐在城上、要與你們一同吃自己糞、喝自己尿的人說嗎？」
27But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?”
28於是拉伯沙基站着，用 猶大 言語大聲喊着說：「你們當聽 亞述 大王的話！
28Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
29王如此說：『你們不要被 希西家 欺哄了；因他不能救你們脫離我的手。
29The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
30也不要聽 希西家 使你們倚靠耶和華，說耶和華必要拯救我們，這城必不交在 亞述 王的手中。』
30Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
31不要聽 希西家 的話！因 亞述 王如此說：『你們要與我和好，出來投降我，各人就可以吃自己葡萄樹和無花果樹的果子，喝自己井裏的水。
31Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from his own cistern;
32等我來領你們到一個地方與你們本地一樣，就是有五穀和新酒之地，有糧食和葡萄園之地，有橄欖樹和蜂蜜之地，好使你們存活，不至於死。 希西家 勸導你們，說耶和華必拯救我們；你們不要聽他的話。
32until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”
33列國的神有哪一個救他本國脫離 亞述 王的手呢？
33Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
34哈馬 、 亞珥拔 的神在哪裏呢？ 西法瓦音 、 希拿 、 以瓦 的神在哪裏呢？他們曾救 撒馬利亞 脫離我的手嗎？
34Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
35這些國的神有誰曾救自己的國脫離我的手呢？難道耶和華能救 耶路撒冷 脫離我的手嗎？』」
35Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
36百姓靜默不言，並不回答一句，因為王曾吩咐說：「不要回答他。」
36But the people stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
37當下， 希勒家 的兒子家宰 以利亞敬 和書記 舍伯那 ，並 亞薩 的兒子史官 約亞 ，都撕裂衣服，來到 希西家 那裏，將拉伯沙基的話告訴了他。
37Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.
